Taking care of diskettes

To protect the data stored on your diskettes:

❖

Store your diskettes in their boxes or other containers to
protect them and keep them clean.

❖

Keep diskettes at room temperature and avoid exposing them
to direct sunlight. Otherwise data may be lost.

❖

Keep your diskettes away from sources of magnetism, such as
speakers and radios, since these can destroy data.

❖

Clean dirty diskettes with a soft cloth moistened in water. Do

not

use cleaning fluids.

Avoid:

❖

Sliding back the protective metal cover.

❖

Touching the magnetic surface of a diskette. Fingerprints can
prevent the drive from reading the data held on a diskette.

❖

Twisting or bending a diskette.

❖

Placing heavy objects on your diskettes.

❖

Eating, smoking or using erasers near your diskettes. Foreign
particles can damage the surface.
